Awesome. Finally got some of my gun scared friends to take me out to their property and go shooting... quite some time ago now. One gets his brother in law to come and he brings some .308-auto-I-don't-know-what hunting rifle. I'm on the line shooting one of my revolvers... I turn around and my buddy is clearing a jam... right into my back... Know who you are shooting with. Know their level of competence. Me and grandpa won't make that mistake again.... P.S. Yeah, shooting him crossed my mind briefly. :embarassed:

I'm not 100% sure, but I think that photo was staged, and the man in the picture and his helper were one of the best trick shooting acts of their day. I think she is fixing to shoot out his cigarette while sighting with a mirror. Just can't think of his name. In any case...staged or not....pointing a shotgun at someone's head isn't cool

Are you thinking of Herb Parsons, Winchesters "Greatest Salesman"?
Talk about the best of the best.

I don't know what he
may have looked like in his late sixties or so, but it might be?

Maybe she is using the gloss off of her shoe to sight in?

At any rate, THAT close with a shotgun would cause significant damage.

Watch that muzzle!
